Milwaukee ready to extend win streak to four games

The Brewers have won three straight games after an ugly slide that saw their lead in the division drop to 1.5 games. It has increased back to 2.5 games over the Cardinals and the Pirates. The Reds have dropped to 5.5 games out of first. Milwaukee enters this four-game set with New York riding high, coming off a three-game sweep of their division-rivals, the Reds. The starting pitching posted a 2.29 ERA in that series.

Mets going nowhere fast in the NL East

In what has become a two-horse race in the NL East, the Mets find themselves eight games out of first and headed closer to the basement despite winning their last two games against the Seattle Mariners. On their current 10-game road trip, the Mets are 3-3. Dillon Gee takes the mound for New York and he has never beaten the Brewers in his career and he has a career ERA of 6.75 against them.

We will place our bets for the Brewers and Mets at SportsBetting.ag on Thursday night. We are going to bet 15 percent of our bankroll on the Brewers and the -1.5 (+140) spread as they take the first game of this four-game series with the Mets. Milwaukee has enjoyed a rebound this week, which is why they should have no trouble with New York on Thursday night in front of their home fans at Miller Park.
